There is some speculation that McGregor might use MMA tactics in the ring—but many have cautioned him about that.

According to a clause in his contract, any UFC-style moves would result in an automatic disqualification, Yahoo reported on Friday. He could also be sued.

Some sport books even offer one the chance to bet on it, like South Point Casino, which has a “Will McGregor be disqualified during the fight” prop bet.

Dana White, the head of the UFC, told reporters that he believes McGregor likely won’t be disqualified.

“There is a huge penalty clause in the contract,” White told Yahoo Sports, adding that he “[bets] that he won’t” be disqualified. “The athletic commission would keep the entire purse and decide what to do,” White said.

After that, he could face a lawsuit from Mayweather and others.

“The civil lawsuit that Floyd Mayweather would have on Conor McGregor would ruin him,” White said.

“What you do in a civil lawsuit like that is you look at Floyd Mayweather’s last three fights, including this one,” White said. “The number is massive. So what are the damages? You have to have damages. The damages would be incredible.”

The fight is slated for Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s being streamed via Pay-Per-View for $89.99 and $99.99 for HD. The fight will also cost viewers £19.95 or €24.95 for Republic of Ireland customers.

According to CNBC on Friday, ticket prices for the fight have dropped in the past week. The cheapest ticket is now available for $1,335, down 30 percent from Wednesday’s high.
